If it were a basin of water, there would definitely be differences between the different types of water. She didn't feel that the water temperature had increased, but it certainly hadn't frozen.

So, is the problem with the water?

The thought of this possibility immediately made Gu Xi cautious. It's best not to touch things you don't understand.

She opened the panel, randomly bought a water container from the trading area, and carefully scooped a ladleful from the unfrozen water in front of her.

The unfrozen water quickly stabilized in the container, and then Gu Xi saw it begin to freeze at a visible speed at the edge of the water and inside the container.

In less than half a minute, the edge of the container and the water turned into a smooth ice wall, which looked almost exactly like the ice wall she had just seen.

Gu Xi unconsciously swallowed, now somewhat glad that she hadn't carelessly touched the strange water.

Now that she had seen everything that was visible to the naked eye, she needed to investigate what this strange water actually was.

With the help of the game's hints, Gu Xi quickly obtained the basic information.

[Permafrost: A water source for raising certain organisms, but most marine life cannot stay in this water for long periods.]

Based on the game's description, the water should be safe to touch. It only says you can't stay in it for long, but a short visit should be fine.

Gu Xi didn't touch the water in the container, but instead put her fingertips directly into the Everlasting Dew.

The moment her fingertips touched the water, a warm sensation surged through her fingertips and into her heart.

Gu Xi was shocked, and she instinctively raised her hand.

The sudden turn of events startled her. After calming down, she then spread her palm out and placed it 5 centimeters above the water's surface.

If the water is warm, this distance is enough to generate heat.

However, her attempt disappointed her; her palms did not feel any warmth at all on the water's surface.

Undeterred, she dipped her entire hand into the water again, and the warmth returned. This time, because the area of ​​contact between her and Hailu was large enough, she could clearly feel Hailu's warmth.

"That's so strange! It's warm when you put your hand in, but it can freeze water in containers!"

To verify the amazing properties of the non-freezing water once again, Gu Xi went to the trading area and randomly bought several different water containers.

After trying them one by one, she found that these containers were all the same as the first one, and ice walls quickly formed at the junction of the sea dew and the container.

Furthermore, the thickness of the ice wall is related to the amount of water the container holds. The more sea dew the container holds, the thicker the ice wall becomes.

Gu Xi stared at the ice walls on the containers and took out spikes to break them. But the hard ice walls perfectly defended against the attack.

Okay, now everything is clear. It turns out that this kilometer-long ice field is caused by the perpetually warm sea dew.

Therefore, it's best for fish not to enter this area, and boats certainly can't pass through. If a thick layer of ice forms, that would be a real problem.

The matter was clear, and Gu Xi turned and flew back to the ship. It was already late; she would make plans again tomorrow.

She discovered this body of water rather late today; perhaps a treasure trove will emerge from it when she wakes up tomorrow morning.

Ha ha ha ha……

Sometimes, what you think about really does come true. Last night, she was thinking that there might be a treasure trove in Yongwenhai, and when she woke up this morning, she actually saw a treasure trove in the distance.

“That’s an island, definitely.” Gu Xi looked ahead, her tone certain.
